Anxiety 19h
So im not diagnosed with anxiety, but I have been doing terrible mentally lately. I just start crying for no apparent reason, I think I need a day or so off class to focus on myself, but they’re all kinda strict on attendance. Idk how to get an excuse.

If you’re in college go to the school-provide counselors and talk to them and see if they can give an excuse. At the very least you’ll get to talk to someone. I’m the same way :), I also recommend talking to your doctor about going on meds. I was so so so against it before I finally caved and it truly changed and saved my life

I’m so so scared of meds honestly.

I was too!! I put it off for YEARS until I finally said I had to or I’d end up committing. It helped me a lot and made my life actually tolerable, but some people don’t want too and that’s 100000% understandable. I always thought medicine would “take away my sparkle” (genuine quote) but if anything it just made me brighter without the dampening of chronic mental pain. Regardless, you should talk to someone! They can give you in-medicinal ways of coping and feeling better
